Does Cubase incorrectly handle curve MIDI CC when the grid size is smaller than 1/16?
Here’s what I did: load up an instance of Serum , MIDI learned the filter cutoff (in my case CC16.) When I draw in CC16 automation using the line tool, with a Sine curve, anytime the grid size is faster than 1/16, the end result is very inaccurate. When the grid size is 1/128, it sounds almost exactly like 1/8.
This doesn’t happen when I automate the filter directly, instead of through MIDI CC.
Is this a known issue? I can upload a video later if this wasn’t clear enough.
Yeah using an LFO inside a VSTi will always be much more accurate. But I do agree that fast automation or MIDI CC data is choppy in Cubase. Ableton Live is much more responsive from what I have seen…
that’s what I’ve always been doing too, until today when I had to specifically modulate MIDI CC and to do that fast. I’d be very disappointed if this limitation was true 
the result of what I automated was not only choppy, but downright unusable
Long story short: I found that the problem wasn’t the way Cubase handles in-clip MIDI CC (good news), but the way it handles automation lane that comes from extracted MIDI automation, when you use the Extract MIDI Automation function.
